Cathy Rosier (January 2, 1945, in Fort-de-France – May 17, 2004) was a French model and actress born in Martinique, French West Indies. She died in Marrakech, Morocco, from a ruptured aorta. Rosier was the daughter of the Martiniquais writer and painter Yva (née de Montaigne) and her husband, politician and mathematics instructor Thélus Léro.
